Harrison Barnes is a potential trade candidate since he is going to be entering the final year of his contract and Richaun Holmes is also a potential trade candidate given that his value to Sacramento has dropped tremendously since they acquired Domantas Sabonis.

As a result, let’s take a look at a hypothetical offseason trade proposal that would send Holmes to the Dallas Mavericks.
